A bumper crop for Spherians, with Bazza leading the pack, and Chris O'Carroll and Frank Osen proving that BEING a furriner is no bar to taking the silverware. Brian Allgar continues his impressive run, bill is tucked in there as always and even Whitworth finds a fiver with his name on it, his first win this year. Adrian Fry, are you of our number? Congratulations i you are. Congratulations anyway.
The new competition contains a line of great beauty. We will have to strain every sinew to match it..
